Mrs. B. G. Haskell has miniature Swiss
watch so small and delicate that when last
year it got out of order no matchmaker in
San Francisco could fix it. 1t was given to
two in Denver and they each were unableto
put it in order. Finally it was left in the
hands of Mr.. A. L. Lackey at No. 1929

placing it in frst-class order and at less
price than had been thought possible. For
excellent work at reasonable rates call upon
him. All needing a new watch should call
